The most controversial British-Indian Salman Rushdie who targeted of a fatwa death sentence, called it nothing but talk.

Rushdie claimed to continue promoting his memoir of his life journey in hiding under a fatwa and this time the author publish a new autobiographical of 600 pages named “Joseph Anton” figures in the 2012 Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction, worth 20,000 pounds.

“This was essentially one priest in Iran looking for a headline,” Rushdie said in New York. Rushide’s new memoir depicts his life under fatwa when the Ayatollah Khomeini in 1989 declared his book “The Satanic Verses” as blasphemous and ordered his death.

Anti-Rushdie sentiment remains the attraction in Pakistan as the source said that on Wednesday Pakistan was banning a TV channel on broadcasting an interview with ‘The Satanic Verses’ author, following amid anti-Islamic film “Innocence of Muslim” violent protest in the Middle East.

About “Innocent of Muslim” Rushdie called it “the worst video on YouTube”, adding Saneii has long offered a bounty of $3.3 million, but failed to attract more people.

A bounty of $3.3 million for Rushdie has erupted by a semi-official Iranian religious foundation headed by Ayatollah Hassan Saneii this week, which was increased from $2.8 million.
